Financial Services text marketing can boost your business

Retention Programme
To retain existing customers, you probably send a retention mailing and follow up those who do not respond with a telephone call closer to their renewal date. Sending a text message a few days before may save you money. The text would follow up on the mailing and drive the customer to call, thereby significantly lowering your outbound call costs with minimal resources.

Cross Sell and Acquisition Campaigns
SMS marketing can be used to support other marketing initiatives, either as a teaser or as follow-up activity.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
SMS marketing is a very personal and cost-effective way of keeping your customers informed and engaged. SMS Marketing could be systems driven and incorporated at certain key stages in your customer's journey. For instance, a text could be sent automatically when a customer's mortgage has been agreed with the objective of getting the customer to phone in to proceed. This would be good customer service and save your staff having to make several calls to contact the customer.
